Im not sure if anyne follows boxing but im curios at how this guy keeps testing positive then negative?

Do you think with him been in such good physical condition his body has rejected the virus and only shows up every now and then?

by the way he is a heavy weght boxer who has his license removed after a positive hiv test back in the 90's, how hes negative?

If he had a positive HIV test and tested negative afterwards then it must have been a false positive.

There is not a human being alive that can clear the virus once they are infected.

Mr Morrison in all likelihood remains hiv positive.
Much suspicious (lies, fraud, forgery...) circumstances surround his negative test results.  His negative tests results have yet to be duplicated by any independent lab.

If he is indeed HIV +, he would of course test Positive via ANTIBODY tests. Because has been infected for so long and produces antibodies, he would test NEGATIVE on ANTIGEN tests. If he were on ANTIRETROVIRAL DRUGS and had an UNDETECTABLE VIRAL load, he would test NEGATIVE(UNDETECTABLE) on the VIRAL LOAD TEST. Tommy's people may use that VIRAL LOAD TEST to say he is "FREE of DISEASE". Based on the assay used, he can say he took the test and was NEGATIVE. This is a true statement as long as the test isn't an ANTIBODY assay.

You are technically correct JC.
Read Mr. Morrison's history though.

the op was confused how a person can become positive then negative then postive and negative again (not from a technical point).

Simply put, they CAN'T. There is NO confusion.
